Supporting Future Public Health Leaders: Mentorship, Internships, & Capstone Projects

At Public Health Behavior Solutions, while our primary focus is public health, we also incorporate neuroscience and psychology to enhance program design and effectiveness. Additionally, we work with public policy to support the implementation and scaling of health initiatives. We collaborate with students across multiple disciplines—public health, neuroscience, psychology, and public policy—at various stages of their academic journeys.

We offer flexible, impactful opportunities to develop skills and contribute to innovative solutions that bridge scientific discovery with practical application. Our goal is to empower students to become leaders in community health and behavioral science and enable them to make meaningful, real-world contributions to health and well-being.

Mentorship
At Public Health Behavior Solutions, we are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of public health professionals through diverse mentorship opportunities. Our programs are designed to bridge scientific discovery with practical application, empowering students to become leaders in community health and behavioral science.

What Students Achieve Through Mentorship:

Gaining career advice and professional development tips in public health and behavioral sciences
Developing skills on data analysis, grant writing, and community engagement
Participating in shadowing opportunities with our team members across various disciplines
Receiving guidance and support in developing and executing their capstone or internship projects

Internship Program: Preceptor for Public Health Interns
As a preceptor organization, we offer valuable hands-on internship experiences for students pursuing careers in public health, neuroscience, psychology, and related fields. Interns work directly with our multidisciplinary teams on research, program development, and community initiatives—gaining practical skills and mentorship throughout their experience.

We actively involve neuroscience and psychology students to demonstrate how their work can be applied in real-world public health practice, including areas such as injury and violence prevention, disease prevention, and health promotion. This program is designed to empower students to translate scientific insights into impactful public health strategies, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and practical application.

What Interns Gain:

Practical skills in evidence-based public health strategies
Mentorship from leading scientists and practitioners
Opportunities to contribute to projects addressing injury prevention, disease control, and health promotion
Exposure to collaborative, community-focused approaches aligned with national health objectives
